Funding for projects and organisations that work with disadvantaged young people or those with a disability
Funding Large grants of £2,000 and above are available for equipment and building projects. Small grants of up to £500 are also available for furniture or games equipment. Those organisations with major appeals are advised to apply only once they have already secured 75 per cent of the funding.
Funder The Percy Bilton Charity is a grant-making trust set up in 1962 by property tycoon Percy Bilton.
Aim The charity funds projects and organisations that work with disadvantaged young people, people of all ages with a disability and older people. The charity does not fund running costs. Individual grants are also handed out to those with a disability or mental health problem to pay for household basics such as furniture and clothing.
Who can apply? Registered charities and small youth groups with a letter of reference can apply for funds as can social workers on behalf of their clients.
